Kidz-R-Brite At The Farm Gardening Program

I have two preschool/daycares and have an organic garden at both locations in Ladysmith, BC, Canada.  We just purchased the second location last year and we have 2 1/2 acres to work with.  Lots of space to grow fruits and vegetables.  I am searching for more ideas on expanding our current gardens so that we can be more self-sustaining in growing food for both personal and staff and also for the families that attend our school.  I am so excited about your program; its awesome.  We all are so keen to learn new gardening techniques.  I thank you so much for offering such a wonderful program to

Scotchtown Hills Elementary School

We want to create a garden where each grade level can plant and grown vegetables and fruits. This will not only teach students live long skills, but it will be a fun experience for everyone.

Escuela Micael

 Our Waldorf inspired pre-school has an organic garden and students actively participate in composting and gardening. We also offer an after school gardening class once a week (Tuesdays 3:30-5:30) open to 3-12 year olds. Students help maintain the gardens and a large pond.

Cooking with Kids, Inc.

Cooking with Kids motivates and empowers elementary school students to make healthy food choices. Through hands-on nutrition education activities, kindergarten through 6th grade students explore, prepare, and enjoy fresh, affordable foods from around the world. A 5th grader says it best: “Do you know what the passion of food is? It’s the way the food smells and tastes – it’s the food that I like!”

Jones Valley Teaching Farm

Good School Food (GSF) is Jones Valley Teaching Farm’s primary program.  GSF is a food education model that connects Pre K-12 students to food through cross-curricular, standards-based content during the school day.  GSF is unique in its approach to food education in public schools in that we provide schools with state-of-the-art teaching farms and full-time staff, known as GSF Instructors, who work with school faculty to develop dynamic programs and curricula. The outcomes of the GSF model are improved student learning and access to healthy food at the school level.  

South Athens Elementary Garden Project

This is our second season for our school garden.  We were created to teach healthy food choices for our largely Hispanic population.  The first year was a huge success....many volunteers, the Master Gardeners got involved, and we provided food for our 600 plus kids to sample.  Our success did not go unnoticed - two other schools in our town have now started their own school gardens!

This year we are expanding into a greenhouse program, starting a compost project using discarded food from our cafeteria, and growing even more plants! We are excited about another great year!
